US "specialists on the Caucasus" at the Prague-based US government station Radio Liberty are well-known ignorant and wasters of hard-earned US tax-payers money.
The station became fully pro-Russian long time ago. It is the Russian dog Putin who should pay money for the operation of this junk station and not the Americans.
Here is one example of the latest nonsense reported by Radio Liberty. Here is an example of the latest nonsense reported by Radio Liberty. In an anonymous article a certain "Caucasian expert" writes".:
"It remains unclear who masterminded the raid (on Nalchik, the capital of the Russian-occupied Caucasian Muslim state of Kabardino-Balkaria, on October 13, 2005 - KC). The Chechen militant Shamil Basayev, who was killed in July 2006, at the time claimed responsibility for the attack as a new stage in the "holy jihad" against Moscow. A separate organization called the Caucasus Front said it had organized the attacks, with a third, Yarmuk, claiming a role as well". End of the quotation.
It is not necessary to be an infidel American "Caucasian expert" to know some basic facts about this successful operation of the Caucasian Mujahideen. Regular reading of the Kavkaz Center news is enough in this case.
The Caucasus Front is NOT a "separate organization". It is a structure of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria's Armed Forces. There are many Fronts within the Military Command of the Chechen Armed Forces, e.g. the North-Western Front, the Volga Front, the South-Eastern Front, the Dagestan Front etc, and the Caucasian Front is one of them.
The Jamaat Yarmuk is also NOT a separate organization. It is a structure within the Caucasus Front responsible for military operations of the Chechen Armed Forces outside the borders of Chechnya in the North Caucasus region, except for Dagestan which has a separate Dagestan Front. And Yarmuk is a subsidiary of the Caucasian Front responsible for military operations in Kabardino-Balkaria.
And Shamil Basayev (Shaheed, insha Allah) who perished in an incident blast while transporting explosive materials in a truck was the Chechen Defense Minister responsible for military operations of all these Fronts and their subsidiaries, by the way.
It is not for the first time that we observe American "experts" writing nonsense about the names of different structure of one and the same Chechen Military Command. The last time we wrote about it was a report of the AP Moscow Bureau.
Is it so tiresome for the minds of American "experts" and correspondents to learn this structure before writing silly stories about matters they do not know and, as it seems, do not want to know?
